JAPANES GRAN PRIX - LEWIS HAMILTON ON POLE AT SUZUKA!

It is sometimes said that you have to wait for the right time, or that nothing happens before its time. 

Well, it could also be said that there are somethings for which we find it difficult to wait for, resulting in us doing all we can to speed up their occurrence, even if we do not always succeed in doing so.

For Lewis Hamilton, one of the the goals which he has been steadfastly trying to achieve, is that of placing his car on Pole at the Suzuka Circuit in Japan. 

And achievement which has, equally, steadfastly eluded him. Until now, that is, because, Lewis Hamilton has, in epic proportion, placed Car 44 on Pole for the Japanese Grand Prix of 2017!

Well done Lewis and Team Mercedes. You have all dug deep and and come up trumps! A Very Big Congratulation to you both, and, of course, to Valtteri Bottas, for having placed his car atP.2.

Although he will have to start the race further down the the positioning, due to a penalty he he has taken.

Congratulation also to Vettel and Team Ferrari, for placing them selves at P.3, which will now be promoted to P.2., due to Valtteri's penalty.

I watched Sebastian relatively closely examining the Mercedes Silver Arrows at the end of Qualifying.  Probably trying to comprehend the blistering pace which they have demonstrated during Q.3.  

And asking himself: how did they do that; how was it that Hamilton was over 4 tenths of a second faster than him, with a record breaking lap for the Circuit?

But, yes, Hamilton, as he is wont to do, has broken his Pole famine at Suzuka, in big style.

There are some dances which are difficult to learn and master, taking more time than might have been expected, even for those of us who are known for our dancing achievements. 

'The Japanese Suzuka' has, for Hamilton, been such a dance. He has now mastered it in big style. 

It is a dance which requires precision coordination, timing and execution in all of its beautiful, swaying, undulating and poetic motions and nuances. 

And, it was a joy to what the Mercedial symphony of Hamilton, his car, the unseen hands of Team Mercedes, and the positive energies of Circuit Suzuka, coming together as one, to take Hamilton to Pole!

Buy that was during Qualifying, the race is tomorrow, and it is not won or lost until the Checkered Flag has been waved. 

To win the Japanese Grand Prix, it is incumbent upon the Mercedial Symphony repeating the performance they have played out during Qualifying, but keeping it going for a much longer period of time. 

Because, they must now perform the full performance, after having provided themselves with the safety of having the best start and be the first to safely make it around the first turn of the circuit.

Nothing should or is likely to be taken for granted. It is clear that Team Mercedes has the ability and capacity to place their cars on the Podium at the end of the Japanese Grand Prix 2017. 

However, in order to do so, they must, again, deliver another and even  more Brilliant performance of 'The Japanese Suzuka dance.'

Let us look forward to all the drivers giving us a great, thrilling and safe Grand Prix!
